Product Information

Dr. Ken D. Berry is a board-certified family physician. He was recently accepted as a fellow in the American Academy of Family Medicine. Dr. Berry’s practice focuses on preventing and treating chronic diseases caused by the Standard American Diet, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. He empowers patients with information to help them navigate this “upside-down circus that is modern medicine.” What’s Inside I agree with the author, clinicians are often decades behind the science. I also agree that we are giving our profession away to alternative medicine. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that medicine is an art as much as a science...partly because the science is everchanging. I also wish that more doctors and clinicians were more open-minded. It's possible to remain skeptical but still willing to hear alternative ideas. Oh no .... the fault is with Big Pharma, Big Sugar, Big Dairy, Big Government, Lobbyists and the diet industry. I made a change and only allow myself at max 20 grams of carbs a day. Most days I don’t get even that. I eat meat and veggies. No grains which means no breads and no sugar.

Lies My Doctor Told Me reveals the truth behind the lies told by well-meaning doctors. Whether it’s recommending a low-fat diet, or warning you to avoid the sun, these medical lies can cause real harm to your health. Interestingly, my daughter has Celiac disease and must avoid gluten, but that does not mean that she should avoid all whole grains. Lies My Doctor Told Me reveals the truth behind the lies told by well-meaning doctors. Whether it's recommending a low-fat diet, or warning you to avoid the sun, these medical lies can cause really harm to your health. This book is not just for people who want to lose weight and live a healthy life but also for doctors and any health-care providers to regain the reputation of western modern medicine.That said, my experience is despite all their failings, the original guidelines really weren't all that bad. It has also been my experience that very few people followed them. Has your doctor lied to you? Eat low-fat and high-carb, including plenty of “healthy” whole grains—does that sound familiar? Perhaps this is what you were told at your last doctor’s appointment or visit with a nutritionist, or perhaps it is something you read online when searching for a healthy diet. And perhaps you’ve been misled. Ken Berry, MD, FAAFP is here to dispel the myths and misinformation that have been perpetuated by the medical and food industries for decades.

Yes, I agree there were a couple spelling or grammer errors in his book, but it does not harm the message in the least. I don't know of a single book I have read where there wasn't at least a couple errors, so for the people that gave less stars for that, I gave FULL stars for the message. I don't think a couple the the's deserved a star loss because the information in this book is very eye opening. How doctors are taught to think about nutrition and other preventative health measures, and how they should be thinking.

Customer reviews

The introduction having a section titled "Where are the Works Cited?" and stating "To take charge of your health, you need to learn how to research health topics on your own" screams to me that everything this guy is spouting is complete bull****. Mention of specific companies, organizations, or authorities in this book does not imply endorsement of the The Truth: Research studies uniformly show that exercise is a very poor method of weight loss. Exercise is wonderful for your mind, body and spirit in hundreds of ways. It will make you healthier and happier, but it will not help you lose weight. Unfortunately, I think this particular doctor has parked his car in the keto garage and in doing so has stymied his own intellectual growth when it comes to matters of nutrition as it relates to health. His logic and his arguments are often as flawed if not more flawed than the ones he's supposedly debunking. In Lies My Doctor Told Me , Dr. Ken D. Berry highlights the biggest misconception in the healthcare industry: that doctors know everything. He explains that while some physicians advocate outdated practices because they’re too busy to keep up with new research, others blindly accept results from Big Pharma-sponsored studies. But most importantly, in this book, Dr. Berry busts more than 25 commonly-believed medical and diet-related myths and teaches you evidence-based approaches to take control of your health.
